Your opinion is important to the Association Board. What improvements would you like to see in our residential community?

Think Neighborhood Safety!

Drive slowly! Unfortunately, speed limits are not posted in our neighborhood but the law limits the speed to 25mph.

Always be aware of suspicious activities. As a small community, we take comfort in the fact that we all watch out for each other. Report or make known any suspicious activities.

Pay attention to any unexpected safety hazards that may surface. With our neighborhood still in development, often builders will accidentally leave construction sites with exposed hazards.

New LED Bulbs

Mallard's Lake has converted to new LED bulbs. These new bulbs use less energy, last longer and resolve issues as the lamps age. Neighborhood residents have been voicing concerns about street lamps being out on school bus corners, lamps flickering, lack of security light and in general the number of lamps having issues. So after doing some research on AEP agreement and talking to electricians, the board approved switching an initial lamp to LED to see how it would look and get good estimate of cost. At the annual meeting, issues were discussed and residents were asked for their opinion. After listening to concerns and taking into consideration the current/future issues with the street lamps, a decision was made to start converting them to LED as budget allows. We will continue to research and address concerns of brightness on corners/cul-de-sacs where the lights are close to homes.
